Abstract:
This past year, three graduate history of higher education courses tasked students with developing asynchronous learning activities that engaged their peers in primary source analysis. The purpose of this assignment was to build analytical and digital skills, to encourage students to actively engage with other learners, and for marginalized groups to interact with their own histories. Through a panel of instructors and students, we will reflect on this teaching and learning process. Participants will use digital products from these activities to engage in dialogue, leaving with an understanding of how student-crafted digital assignments can enhance student engagement and critical analysis.
